Summary
A Reddit user who caught COVID-19 in 2021 felt fine for a month or two before long COVID began with palpitations and a random fast heart rate, followed by ulcerative colitis about six months after infection. Five years on they still report dysautonomia, skipped heartbeats, tinnitus and panic attacks, though the palpitations have eased a lot. They credit vitamin D with stopping muscle twitches, nattokinase with reducing skipped beats and a carnivore diet with feeling better.
